Multiple webrequests

stratus · Jun 5, 2010

I want to make a weather program and i must make webrequests to this page
"http://freemeteo.com/default.asp?pid=21&la=2&gid=264371&nDate="
seven times like
freemeteo.com/default.asp?pid=21&la=2&gid=264371&nDate=0
freemeteo.com/default.asp?pid=21&la=2&gid=264371&nDate=1 etc until
freemeteo.com/default.asp?pid=21&la=2&gid=264371&nDate=6
Until now i make the first request and i am waiting until the request finishes and then i make the second etc
Is there any way to make all seven requests asynchronously to save time;

The HTTP library includes asynchronous methods. You can create several HTTP objects and use these methods to send the requests in parallel.
Note that if you plan to reuse the same objects you will need to first dispose the old objects.

I've attached an example that downloads two URLs in parallel.
The code is not very elegant. I recommend you to add the objects at runtime (or at least share the event subs with AddEvent) if you plan to have 7 objects.

[Thanks Erel

I wanted to ask this but always forgot, I thought the download can only be done 1 by 1 only previously. Thanks!
